Mr, Redshaw's loss to date is estimated at $196.00, The farmers believe the damage has been caused by roving dogs but as yet they have been unable to catch any of the animals in the act of attacking their flocks. : watch over their sheep at night in the hope that they might be able to nab the killer-dogs but so far they have been unsuccessful. Meé¢Connell's have moved their flock to new pasture in an effort to avert further loss.

LINDSAY ,--Few people can hon- estly say they are satisfied with the heat wave, but one group, the tourist resort operators through Victoria and Haliburton County, are having one of the biggest years in memory, as more and more people flee the city areas for the éooler northern lime. Week- hung up at almost every resort, lodge, motel and cabins in the district, The reports of a bumper season come from every part of the vacation. area. In Lindsay, the Chamber of Commerce office which offers its as- sistance, to tourists seeking accommo- dation, has tried time and again, with- out success, to find accommodation this season. A long series of telephone calls to resorts listed with the Cham- ber have failed to reveal any available space in many cases since the first big week-end in July. « Clipped a UNIVERSITY COURSES TOO HIGH . It costs too much to go to college, according to an article in The Finan- cial: Post. It goes on to say: for-an out- of-town student who has to 'pay board, a four-year B.A. may run to $5,000. For a medical student to tab is likely to be closer to $10,000. Joe College can work in the sum- mer, rake lawns in the fall, mind babies in the winter. But it's still a prohibitive -.amount for many able scholars. - Even with scholarships, higher education is becoming the pre- serve of the privileged. Ability ranks after father's bank account or the stroke of fate which puts the would- be student's family in a college town where he can live at home, University of Toronto's President Smith complains that "We should be getting more students from the rural districts and from centres that are re- mote from universities." Yet there are lots of students at college who never should be there, There's too high a percentage of fail- ures. President Smith puts it at 22% of the freshman year, Why are they there wasting their own and other studens' time, the re- sources. of the university, théir parv- ents' money? There is of course, a snob appeal of some sort in a uni- versity degree and a lack of recogni- tion that 969% or more of Canadians who haven't got one are doing quite well without it. Tuition fees on average pay less than 60% of a student's education; in most cases, the taxpayer pays the rest, Wouldn't it bé wise to spend some of this money to help those who have the ability and willpower but not the money to get a college education? To ill-equip a human mind is" to waste a precious resource, . --Canadian Statesman DISCONCERTING One of the most disconcerting ex- periences we can image is to ba bowl ing down the open highway at 50 miles per hour and have some lunkhead pull out of a farm lane or a sideroad right in our path.

Just take a look at the automatiye industry.

Above 'all 'there will be op- portunities aplenty for men to fill new managerial jobs requiring a high level of training and ability, . As Peter F.

DON'T CROSS THE FENCE LINES There is a growing tendency today on the, part of the general public to disregard the rights of others so far| 0f Many Things as property trespassing is concerned, and a misguided view that one can go anywhere unless the property is pla: carded. This idea is entirely erroneous and the matter has been pointed out in Magistrate's Court that no signs of any kind are required to keep the public out of a property. If a property is fenced, one is tres- passing if he enters under, over or through this fence. Likewise, at the gateway, whether or not the gate is closed, trespassing can be the charge if one passes through. The idea that one can make public use of someone else's property just because this pro- perty does not have signs posted at every interval is entirely wrang, Seagrave Mr. and Mrs. John Blatchard and Mrs. Howard Blatchard were Tuesday visitors with Mr, and Mrs. S.

Firat radio, then TV became government instru- ments to educate the people. Soon scores of newsmen started to receive large fees from government coffers. Magazine editors and writers were also enlisted to comment 'impartially' on national affairs -- under the au- spices of a government agency. And now the Federal government has gone into print in a big and costly way. Over in Hull, handy to the politi- cians, the government bought proper- ty for their new National Printing Bureau. They paid $664,991 for the property and another $160,000 to land- scape it. The new building has. cost another $18,035,009 on top of that, and they still have to buy printing equipment. What do you think us taxpayers will get out of all this? Let me tell you. In bolder type on fancier paper we will get such pamphlets as 'The Germ- ination of Cottonseed.' 'The Pointed Skins', "The Lump Fish', 'The diatoms of Canada', 'Discipline: How Can I correct my child's Habits?' 'Sports and Athletics in Other Countries', and thousands more. The Canadian Gov- ernment Publications Catalogue; back in 1953 was a thick volume of 678 pages,' going, only the good lord knows how thick it will become. And how many magazines does the government plan to put-on the newstands? Printing equipment today is so coat- ly that weekly newspapers are having trouble showing a profit. Yet the Federal Government sees fit, at such a time, to construct the biggest and fan- ciest printing shop in the the nation. About '96% of the pamphlets it will print might well be allowed to go out- of-print, The balance could be print- ed by private printers at a fraction of the cost, Readers would never guess bers of the W.A. were served a lovely [ee with $160,000 landscaping! that they came from print shops not who were most fortunate to win al When the big new plant gets | On CBC radio and television from Toronto's Varsity Avena every Thurs- day night comes the Promenade Con cert.
